How far can your GPA go up?

GPA works by assigning a number to a letter grade, and then averaging those numbers—an A is a 4.0 (an A+ is actually a 4.3 which is the actual upper bound on a 4.0 scale, but only some high schools offer those), B+ is a 3.3, a B is a 3.0, a C is a 2.0, etc. So six Bs and 4 As = 6(3.0)+4(4.0) divided by 10 = 3.4 GPA.
